The British team, featuring three young athletes from Bracknell, were among thousands of people left unable to travel because of the cloud of ash from the volcano Eyjafjallajokull.

The team had to hire coaches and trek across Europe to get to the European Championships in the Bulgarian town of Varna.

Jane Overman, mum of team member and Garth Hill College pupil, Kate Overman, said the team only had one stop on the trip and performed very well in the tournament before getting straight back on the coach and heading home.

A manhunt started for a beanie-hat wearing man who attacked and sexually assaulted two girls in Bracknell.

A 15-year-old girl was grabbed near her home and driven to what was later discovered to be a disused mobile library and attacked.
